The U.S. Department of the Treasury acts as steward of the U.S. economic and financial systems, including the role of the U.S. as an influential participant in the international economy. Treasury also performs a critical and far-reaching role in national security, coordinating financial intelligence, targeting and imposing sanctions on supporters of terrorism, and improving the safeguard of our financial system. Managing these complex tasks requires expanded capabilities in the pursuit of an effective resource management and workforce strategy.
